a few years ago i had some unsafe sex acts and now i have a few questions i hope can be answered from you all,the only weird symptom im having and it just recently started is:: it feels like the area right around my anal area on the outside not inside feels like it is swollen, its not hot or red or anything but sometimes it almost feels like im sitting on something but that is not the case, does this sound like it could be hiv/aids related or any other type of std disease,all comments will be greatly appreciated.

How can it feel like you are sitting on something but that not be the case? At the very least you are sitting on your ass. If you are concerned about HIV or STD's get tested. But first see a doctor about this swelling. It could be hemorrhoids. It could be an anal abscess or the start of a fistula. It could be a friggin tumor. GO SEE A DOCTOR !!!
